Description

Caldercraft Jalouse

The HMS Jalouse was a 22-gun French frigate that was captured by the British Royal Navy in 1798 during the French Revolutionary Wars. After its capture, the frigate was taken into British service under the same name, HMS Jalouse.

The HMS Jalouse served in the Royal Navy for several years, participating in various naval operations and campaigns during the Napoleonic Wars. The frigate was primarily used for patrolling and escorting duties, as well as engaging in skirmishes with enemy vessels.

One notable action involving the HMS Jalouse occurred in 1801 during the Battle of Algeciras Bay, where the frigate played a role in supporting the British fleet in their successful efforts to blockade the French and Spanish fleets in the bay.

After the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the HMS Jalouse was eventually decommissioned and sold out of service, as was common practice with many naval vessels of the time. Its fate beyond this point is not widely documented in historical records.

Overall, the HMS Jalouse was a typical example of a captured enemy vessel that was re-purposed and used by the British Royal Navy during a period of intense naval warfare in European waters.
